Sunday is also a special day for the Lutheran Women’s Mission (LWML) group from St. John’s Lutheran Church and other area Lutheran churches as it is the date for the Blue Earth Zone Fall Mission Gathering (Rally) in Northrop. Registration begins at 1 p.m., then the program and a dessert lunch follows at St. James Lutheran Church in Northrop. The speaker will be Stan Tordsen who will share information about the English Conversation Partners mission program.
